I have a Windows 98 system with a large hard-drive (its geometry is
1869 cylinders/255 heads/63 sectors); I am keeping the Windows 98 system
on the drive in the first partition/slice (about 3G big) and I have loaded
FreeBSD into the next three slices (each at least 1.5G ). I have loaded
4.2 into F2 and 4.1 & 3.3 into the other two slices (with no error
messages [that I could see, is there any file for system-load error
messages?]). I can load & run 4.2 (from F2 ), whenever I try 4.1 &
3.3 (from F3 & F4 ), I get the message(s) "Invalid partition" and
(sometimes also) "No /boot/loader". Previously I have loaded 3.3 into the
second & third slices (existent at the same time, and each was about 3G
big) and ran it from both. Is there a way that I can put /boot/loader in
F3 & F4 , and is it the same code for both ( 3.3 & 4.1 [& 4.2 ], and
is there any configuration/customization required (e.g., placing the
disk-address of /kernel in the code)?
